New Public Works Director

The City of Sandy is pleased to welcome Jenny Coker as our new Public Works Director! 

“I’m honored to be selected by the City of Sandy and excited to deliver capital improvement projects that will be long term investments in the City’s future. I’m looking forward to growing the public works department and engaging the City of Sandy in this challenging and important work,” she said.

Jenny is a highly qualified civil engineer with both public and private sector experience.  Most recently, she served as a senior engineer and program manager at the City of Portland's Bureau of Environmental Services (BES).  In that role she managed BES’ Rehabilitation, Repair, and Modifications program, managing large and complex wastewater infrastructure projects. She also has high level management experience at Kennedy Jenks and Carollo Engineers.

“We are thrilled to have Jenny join our team and lead our Public Works Department during this critical time,” said City Manager Jordan Wheeler. “Her background, experience, and enthusiasm are just what Sandy needs to advance our important infrastructure projects and keep the department moving forward.”

A graduate of Duke University and the University of California, Davis, Jenny serves on the executive board of the Pacific Northwest Clean Water Association.

With her impressive skill set and expertise, Jenny will help lead Sandy through numerous public works projects essential to the future of our community, including the wastewater system improvement project (Sandy Clean Waters), expansion of 362nd Avenue and Bell Street, and construction of a new water treatment facility.

Jenny will take over as Public Works Director from Mike Walker, who is retiring after 36 years of dedicated service to the City. 

We are excited for Jenny to join the City of Sandy team starting on Thursday, February 3rd!
